Quick Question Regarding Ticket I Received Or Didnt Receive Last Night...


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I got pulled over for driving and unregistered vehicle last night..not a problem the rego ran out mid october and I was gonna pay it next week..so the fine I'll cop without a problem..do the wrong thing pay for it as far as I'm conerned..

however I was just wondering the officer didnt actually issue me a ticket on the spot..is this a common practice nowdays and you get it in the mail instead?

also anyone know what the fine is likely to be?? Im pretty sure I don't lose demerit points according to the vicroads website but I'm interested in what Ill be paying..

thanks..

i got the same thing but i payed mine the day before i got pulled over . paid it online and it didnt come up on vic roads logs that it was paid, so i got the fine on the spot. i got out of the fine later on but it was sumfin like $552 or about that.

Curious what did the cop say when you told him you paid? Was he ok about it? And what did VicRoads say to you when you called about the fine and telling them that you DID in fact pay

Damn VicRoads...

I payed my rego on my daily a little while ago, and about a month and a half later they sent me a letter in the mail telling me I'm driving around in an unregistered car.

What actually had happened is their credit card system stuffed up, subsequently making hundreds of people receive fines from the police for driving unregistered. Luckily I didn't get pulled up in this time.

i got pulled up about a month ago now...he said its 570 dollars id just come back from mount buller at the time so didnt have much time ro pay the rego, but the cop was good about it...the only thing he said was is look i cant let you go coz its come up on my screen and i need to save my ass which i was cool about...

but i never recieved an on the spot or in the mail..

prior to this i got a stop sign ticket and and no licence on me fine both of those were recived in the mail about 2 weeks after the incedent

stop sign ticket? i'm just gonna throw my guess out there and see what happens but i'm guessing you mean that you didn't stop at a stop sign and you got fined for it? if so..WTF?

I'd paid my Rego and forgot to put the sticker on... ...I was lucky because the cop wanted to fine me for it... ...but there are no rules when it comes to which sticker you display (as far as I know)... ...it all comes down to if you've paid it or not...

I believe that the fine is now $567 for Unregistered. There are no demerit points attached. I am sure that if you have paid rego and receive a fine for unregistered as Vic Roads haven't updated it (which actually happens quite a bit) just send in copy of receipt/Bpay on Stat Dec to civic compliance with fine and they cancel the fine.

Yes it's definirely an offence not to have current rego label afixed and is $57 fine no demerit points again.

With fines in mail it's a common practice to issue them later in mail.

Hope this answers a few questions.

Thanks graeme sure helps.. Good thing we have a specialist in the field hey lol..I've paid the rego now..but I've learnt my lesson pretty quick about taking the driving with no rego chance :D

my big problem was I brought the car a month before the rego expired..because it's so close to the expiration date vicroads doesnt issue a label cause its already gone to the old owner instead your meant to ring them and pay via credit card..which I don't have.. so I got them to mail a payment letter out and continued to drive until the payment letter arrived not knowing it was wrong since I was waiting for the label.. I know its wrong now and I did the wrong thing so I'll cop it and pay for it..the officer was a good bloke and I had a bit of a lugh with him so I can't complain...

    • Take a couple of the big ones back to "work", leave them in the big bin.   Will make a good boom when the garbage truck emptys it out... I've heard from another source about the boom when they had put I believe it was a 4cylinder engine in the big bins at Richmond base...
    • That idea has crossed my mind, I do a 5km walk everyday, this does take me past some bushland......I think you may be onto something 馃槈  That, plus 1 rock on every bin night might do the trick, it may take a year, but it could save me a couple of grand The only issue is the big 'Boonies", I have a few that weigh around 30-40kg, maybe they should be the first to go into the raised garden bed,  and then let the next owner deal with them....my daughter gets the joint when I kick the bucket, mums the word mate......LOL Noice......
    • Wow. Did you call the car a Nissan Skyline?
    • You're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...
    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 馃槩, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
